Dear Brethren,
In light of both federal and local guidelines limiting mass gatherings, we are canceling next month’s Fellowship Conference. On a local level, a brother in the Denton church is now under quarantine after three co-workers in his workplace have tested positive for the coronavirus.
It saddens us to make this announcement, as this will be the first time in 10 years we will not be able to meet face to face with hundreds of our cherished friends and supporters and sit under trustworthy Bible preaching together.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. Over the next several days, the Fellowship Conference will provide a full refund of your registration fees, meals, and on-site lodging. Please contact us if you haven’t received your refund within 7 days. If you reserved a room off-site, then please remember to contact your hotel to cancel that reservation.
Thank you for praying for this conference and the associated ministries / churches. But even more importantly, join us in prayer on behalf of those affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world and for government officials, first responders, and the entire medical community. May the Lord have mercy. Luther’s paraphrase of Psalm 46 is apt: “A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing.” May this be a moment in which we as the church “shine as lights in the world” (Phil. 2:15).
Lord willing, we look forward to our next reunion with you, in person, in 2021.
